Waking Up in Vegas

We are slowly, but surely, eating our way through the city of Las Vegas.

After our day at the pool yesterday, we came back to the hotel to chillax before going out. I did a lovely 30 minute Detox Challenge flow from YogaDownload.com. It felt SO good to stretch and twist.

For dinner, we wanted to do something *low key* since we’re going to B-flizzle’s (aka Bobby Flay’s) restaurant Mesa Grill tonight and also had epic plans for bfast this morning 😉

Somehow, our plans for something light and casual went down the drain and we ended up at Yellowtail at The Bellagio.

My beverage of choice was the Essence cocktail, which had cucumber and lemon- so light and refreshing.

We started with the edamame- one had sea salt and the other had a sweet chili sauce

The pilot’s miso soup came out in a little cauldron 🙂

I had the best seaweed salad I’ve ever feasted on

The pilot ordered a crab roll and a salmon roll

And fresh, beautiful salmon sashimi

I chose the grilled eggplant, which had a glorious soy ginger sauce

And we just rolled with it and got dessert for kicks 😀

Chocolate lava cake with banana foam and mint ice cream.

For realz.

I have no words. It was amazing.

Since we were at the Bellagio, we had to stop and watch the fountains, which are choreographed to music and put on a show every 15 minutes at night.

If you ever find yourself in Vegas (which I hope you do! It’s pretty baller), the #1 thing (IMO) that you *have* to do is watch the fountains. It’s perfect 🙂

We ended up being little party animals (for us!) last night. We went two-step dancing with the gang at a country bar,booty-shaking at a club (are you proud, Snacky??) and had some wine at Parasol Up in the Wynn later on (thanks for the recommendation, Beth!).

I had a glass of Riesling:

Not a bad night 😉 And yup, I only had two drinks even though we were out til 4am. The little granny managed to stay awake past 11pm and had a blasty 😀

We just got back from our breakfast feast –they had MILLET BREAD- (more on that to come) but are going to get ready for the day and explore the city before heading to Bobby Flay’s restaurant for dinner.

Looks like fun!! I love roasted Egg plant. You have to try the buffet at the Wynn. It’s not a typical buffet- it’s all gourmet foods with lots of healthy and all fresh options! It changed my life. haha. It’s pretty expensive but TOTALLY worth it!

Oh, Gina, it looks like you’re having such a great time! 🙂 My husband was sent there for work for 10 days last year and said it was definitely an experience. I hope I get to go at least one time in my life.

the seeweed salad and grilled eggplant sounds amazing! 🙂 have fun living it up in vegan and enjoying doing some new things (doesn’t dancing make you feel great?!) i can’t wait to hear about your experience at bobby flay’s since i just went to his restaurant in NYC.

Mmm I ate at Yellowtail last month…my friend knows someone who works there so we pretty much got hooked up with every appetizer on the menu! 😉 soooo amazing! I had that cucumber drink as well–also wonderful!

that’s so awesome! can you get the hookup to sit on the patio and watch the fountains?? we begged but apparently you have to know someone or book wayyyy in advance. and yes, the cocktail was wonderful!

Despite that, I still want to go to Vegas. It looks like you and the Pilot had the most incredible time! I’d go for the food alone. OK, and maybe to look like an abovementioned “skank” and get away with it.

So, so glad you danced, drank and ate to the fullest (well, maybe not that fullest, but you know what I mean!)! xoxoxo
